  1. And don't buy anything you can't take out of the stoor there and then.
  2. I I thought it was a Norwegian Blue. Paraglider Pilot: Help, there's f-ing great eagle caught in my lines. Ground Control: Wait one whilst I get my binoculars. Pilot: FFS! What can I do? Ground Control: It doesn't look like an eagle, I'll just get my bird spotting book. Pilot: Jeez, I'm going to die. Ground Control: Ah here it is, it's a Himalayan Griffon Vulture. Pilot: I don't give a s***. What can I do. Ground Control 2: Deploy your reserve 'chute. Oops too late! Ground Control: Oh look, there's a load more Himalayan Griffon Vultures circling overhead.
  3. There's some more on the story here. It was an eagle got caught in the rigging. Eagle takes down paraglider, paraglider saves eagle - Yahoo! Eurosport UK
  4. Camtasia converts powerpoint to video. I use it for our display tv and it looks really good.
  5. James Dyson Award | Jamesdysonaward.com I love the comment "the one I built in mum's backyard"
  6. I hope that's the case DaveP.

  8. When you were born, you were the: 2,510,614,941st person alive on Earth 75,605,433,584th person to have lived since history began Does that make you feel better @Earthling?
  9. I've always found the Steljes guys to be very helpful.
  10. I got some of these from the local garden centre. http://www.hisltd.co.uk/Nortene-Spiral-Tree-Guard.html
  11. Amounts to the same thing doesn't it?
  12. So don't forget to mention it on your cv
  13. This makes quite interesting reading. Darell Hammond: If We Don't Let Our Children Play, Who Will Be the Next Steve Jobs?
  14. We are hijacking this thread a bit but you will be hard pushed to get a return flight with a stop off for less than £650 now and you need to know your way around to stay in a township. As for travel costs, go in a white taxi, they are really cheap. We always spend a few days in Durban with my sister in law and that is good value but places like the Kruger are many more times as expensive as they were 10 years ago.

  15. It's a bit of everything. Most of my travel is to Portugal but we get an early flight, which means getting up at a stupid time. It's a 90 minute drive to the airport, 30 minutes or so parking, 30 minutes getting through security, 60 minute wait for the flight, 150 minute flight, 30 minutes getting through security etc., 30 minutes sorting out the car and 60 minutes driving. I just find it very tiring at my age and it takes a while to adjust. It is worse if there's a time difference.
  16. It was one of the main considerations when we opted for Smartboards.
  17. Still an 10-11 hour flight though and it is getting more and more expensive.
  18. Personally, anything with a flight in excess of 4 hours has to be a two week holiday as I need a few days to recover.
  19. Isn't that a crash zoom? The blurring is caused by the reducing DOF as the zoom increases.
  20. Let's name it the CHR1S effect.
  21. Try reinstalling 2paint or running ccleaner to see if there are any broken registry links.
  22. As a "trekkie" I was ok there but I haven't a clue who Kimberley Kardashian and why her short-lived marriage is cause for much mirth.
  23. Text book emergency landing. I bet the passengers were a bit apprehensive though.
